The DD Form 2518 allows Defense Department personnel to apply for credit toward mandatory acquisition training requirements. Instead of completing a formal training course, individuals can document how prior experience, education, or alternative coursework covers the required objectives.
To use the form, you describe your relevant background and the specific training requirement it fulfills. A supervisor reviews the information and provides a written recommendation. A designated official then grants final approval or rejection. The form includes a field for your Social Security Number. This requirement is mandated under the authority of Executive Order 9397 from November 1943. Providing it is voluntary and does not affect how the form is processed.
For other Defense Department personnel documents, you may also need DD Form 149 to request a correction to your military records, or DD Form 2656 to update payment data for retired personnel.
